The storm clouds are gathering!

The clash of civilizations is well under way. And the storm clouds are gathering apace. A major conflagration looks a distinct possibility now. The western world's experimentation with political correctness and multiculturalism is now looking decidedly jaded. The liberals who brought these erroneous concepts to the fore have just about all gone back into the woodwork! Tough, right-thinking men and women will be left to sort out the destruction their ridiculous notions have wrought. We find a solution to this problem of Islam, or else our wonderful and superior civilization is doomed!

It has been reported on the BBC website today that thousands have joined in pro-Islam protests in London. Switzerland's Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports that a thousand or so Muslims have protested in Bern. And we allow these protests to take place! Protests to make Westerners respect their prophet. A prophet who, in the minds of many, should be called the Antichrist!

My first question here is this: How many of these protesters are actually legal immigrants to the United Kingdom? I would ask a similar question about the protesters taking part in demonstrations in Europe. If they are illegal immigrants, why do we have to tolerate them protesting on our streets? Why aren't they deported forthwith? Illegal immigrants should be deported en masse! They have no right to be here. We therefore have no obligation to tolerate their protestations.

The West - that means all Western countries in Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and a few others besides - have Judeo-Christian values as the bedrock of their democracies. Islamic values do not form part of that bedrock. Indeed, Islamic values cannot play any part in the formation of democracy, since they are anathema to it.

Islam is a totalitarian political system clothed in a deity, and it remains an enigma to many a Westerner. The fact that Islam recognizes no separation of the political from the sacred is proof positive, if indeed any proof were needed, that it cannot in any way function or co-exist in a modern, liberal democracy. Its existence here in the West will thwart our advance in every way it can. The thrust of Islamic thinking is to draw society back to a bygone age - an unenlightened age. Islam has no place in the modern world. Period! This cartoon war should form part of the proof of this indisputable fact.

Islam is a backward, regressive religion suitable only for the mediaeval mindset. It is full of superstition. Muslims believe in the wrath of Allah. It reminds me of when my grandmother used to say to me that a thunderclap was God showing his anger with me for being naughty! My grandmother, of course, was joking; Muslims, however, actually believe such ridiculous things. This sort of thinking is, indeed, quite prevalent in the minds of Muslims. If you don't believe me, remember the nonsense that came out of the mouths of imams when the tsunami struck!

Why are they protesting? They say it's because of the perceived insult to their prophet. But don't believe that that is the only reason for their protestations. They also want to bring the West down and supplant our democracies with a caliphate. If we do not wake up to the harsh realities of their aspirations, and do something about them, they might well succeed!

But let's return to this demand for respect for their prophet. Respect is a two-way thing. Why should we respect their prophet when we don't even believe in him? To most Westerners he was a false prophet anyway! Moreover, how much respect does a Muslim show for a Jew, a Christian, a Buddhist, or an atheist? The answer is simple: They show none!

Their hatred of the Jews, for example, is well-documented. They hate the Jews with a passion! They call them apes and swine! Oh, aren't these Muslims such nice, tolerant, benevolent, respectful people? And how much respect do they show non-believers in their backward faith? The so-called infidels or kuffar? Frankly, I find it an afront to my person to be called a kafir; but I wouldn't go and burn down embassies because of the afront all the same. But how much respect does the Muslim show for you and me when he calls us this name? Answer: None!

Further, what respect did Saudis show me when I worked in the Gulf? I couldn't take even a Bible into their country. People who tried to smuggle one in, when caught, were punished if they were unlucky; if they were lucky, their Bible would be snatched from the suitcase and thrown to the ground as though it were a piece of garbage! Oh, by the way, that was the Saudis showing respect for my religion! They are such kind, respectful people!

Then, what about the fact that when a Christian arrived in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, he was prohibited from praying to God in the Christian manner. People who defied the order could be whipped! Oh, by the way, that was the Saudi Muslim showing respect for Christians!

It is utterly disgraceful that our politicians and leaders are too weak and mealy-mouthed to point these things out to these barbarians! For barbarians they are, and barbarians they will be! They behave like savages (witness the beheadings) and come here to the West and demand our respect! That's rich! To use Princess Anne's colourful phrase: "Naff off"!

Respect has to be mutual. But to a Muslim it's a one-way street. I would say that Muslims living in the West have a choice: Behave like us and accept our mores and culture, or get out! Behave like us! Dress like us! Integrate with us! They have come here to get the best out of our superior culture. If they have noticed that they don't like it here after all, then they are free to leave. There are many good, international airports within easy reach of all major cities in the West. It's high time they found out where they are located!
